Hi,
As people may be aware, I have recently posted a page on Rudolf Schrötter to the Sklo Union web-site, with an accompanying design/pattern numbers page.
I personally cannot afford to buy every piece, in order to populate that resource, with contemporary images, rather than catalogue line drawings of his patterns.
Please, if you are prepared to offer the use of contemporary images, copyright acknowledged, naturally, please could you contact me at some point. (Not immediately, I have a e-mail issue to sort out, but I will post here to let you know it is sorted out).
Thanks in advance for any assistance members may be able to offer.
Regards,
Marcus

Marcus,
You're more than welcome to use my pictures of the 7604 celery http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-4521
If they're of use to you, let me know when your email is back up & running & i will send the originals.
All the best,
Steven

Marcus, I believe I only have Rudolf Schrotter's bullet vases - I don't think I have any of his other designs unfortunately but you know already that you're welcome to absolutely any of my images with pleasure.
-
Hi Marcus, I think I do not have got anything important Schrötter, if at all - but feel free to import from my pages, if you should find something :-*
-
The same here Marcus. You are more than welcome to use any. ;)
-
Thanks for the rapid response.
I managed to buy one example of a scarce Schrotter pattern, but there are so many pieces, it would not be feasable to try to by them all, he was just too prolific.....
I hope these two pages will become a useful addition to our knowledge, but I cannot really do more than host the facility, as I do not want to find myself having to make the difficult choice between my raison d'etre, and and an incidental/spin-off interest.
I know you will understand where I'm coming from...... left side of the field :)
My respect for all your help,
Marcus

Marcus, I've just had a good look at your new Schrotter pages - fantastic work, made for very interesting reading. Obviously, having looked at your links, they're not items I've ever had or probably am likely to have since they fall outside my remit (1950 to 1979 inc.) however, I shall keep my eyes peeled on the off-chance and should I come across any on my travels I'll be in touch.
-
Marcus I don't think I have any of the pieces you're looking for but if you happen to spot any in my own album collection you're more than welcome to use the images. http://www.yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/

Marcus - I have some "Lord" images (in Carnival) - are they any use?
-
Marcus - I may be barking up the wrong tree - or just barking mad >:D, but Steven's 7604 celery looks very much like a small 3" high approx. vase (spill vase?) that I have recently acquired. I don't think its a drinking glass because of the thick rounded rim. On the base it has APPLIED FOR REGN.

Hi, I've been collecting Sklo Union for a couple of years now and would be delighted if you could use any of the images here;
http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa278/fit3xl/sklo%20union/
I really enjoy reading all the contributions to the site, thanks! Fitz.

Hi Fitz - what a great collection you've got going there! Thanks a lot for sharing it - I'm a Sklo Union enthusiast of a couple of years also :-) I was interested to see the blue vase on the right hand side in your Sklo005 image - hubby came back from a car boot sale with one exactly the same today.
-
Nice collection of glass and thank you for the offer.
Your vase shown on the right-hand side of image sklo018, is not Sklo Union, but a "Lyon" pattern vase, from VLG Lausitz, from around 1969.
Regards,
Marcus

We would be happy to supply more images Marcus, but there is a problem with the display of the images we already provided which don't show correctly on the site at the moment.
In fact very many of the images simply do not load for me, which makes it kinda difficult to know what's what!
We can also offer a good collection of Teplitz and recent acquisitions include a Fruit test and plate in amber (Argos) Sugar and cream (Argos)
We also have gateau and sides for "' Breitecken" lily decorated base" however when we posted a pic on GMB not long ago we were universally informed that the image is NOT a lily (or a parakeet tulip) but an iris!
I have to say that I don't understand what sort of lily it could represent (certainly none of the types that I have in my garden collection!)
Baroque and Boule are patterns that we try to avoid but which are very common, so will be happy to break our rule and buy some items if they are of use to you! (typically 2/3 euros per item)
We can offer 12 bullets in various colours and another 4 in 'extra large' size', and another 6 'double bullets' (where the design is repeated twice in the height of the vase)

Hi Jay,
Thank you,
I'll contact you via e-mail.
Re images, many of the problems were caused by corrupted uploads on an appaling dial-up connection. I will be re-uploading many items, (using the whizzy ADSL connection and hope that that cures some of the problems) and those items deliberately removed following the snap.com affair, now resolved. (See Cafe Forum)
Regards,
Marcus

Thanks for the replies people and the I.D on the Lyon pattern vase Marcus.
I picked up two separate vases while on holiday on the south coast a couple of years ago, not knowing they were related in any way, but I was just drawn to the quality and originality of the pieces. I then slowly realised (largely through your fantastic website Marcus) that there was a whole extended family of brilliantly designed glass out there.
Sklo Union.Com has been a real inspiration and brought a lot of pleasure to me in that time. A round of applause is fully deserved Sir! :hiclp:
-
Thank you, Fitz, a pleasure, but it is my friends here and elsewhere who have to be thanked for all their efforts and continuing support.
Jay, I have tweaked the Schrötter pages, which seem, in IE at least, to be ok. Anyone spotting problems please don't hesitate to tell me.
Regards,
Marcus
-
Marcus, would you let us know when all the pics are up and running please? I was going to link a listing to your site, but as I couldn't view the pics, thought it better not to at the moment.
-
Hi Lynne.....
Doing my best, and ADSL has made a big difference..... keep checking, but as I've said before, I need to know where the problems are....
Regards,
Marcus

Hi,
All available images have now been replaced. Those still missing need to be re-photographed as originals and uploaded versions have been corrupted. Other-wise on Some Views, only one image need to be replaced. and two on the Identification page., as far as I can see.
